Noah Vonleh vs Marcus Smart

[Jazzonic3030]

If the decision is limted to drafting one of these two players:
Which player do we draft and why?

I could see the Jazz drafting either player.

Jazz have said they will draft BPA period.
Seems like right now Vonleh is rated above Smart by most "experts".

Or GM's are leaking that they like Vonleh so some sucker team takes him early.

This.

I like Vonleh's potential. I don't really like Smart because he is not a shooter. But I do like the defensive potential that Smart shows. Big PG's are nice. Have to go with Vonleh though. He could be a great two way player.

Gordon over Vonleh

Vonleh over Smart

Most execs would probably do Vonleh over both of them.

I think Smart could be a great combo guard off the bench. His defense reminds me of Westbrook. And he has a great all around game.
His shot is worrisome but his release is actually pretty good. So he could improve.

If we resign Hayward. I could see this........

Trey - Smart
Alec - Smart
Hayward - 23rd pick or veteran that we trade for it.
Kanter - Evans
Favors - Gobert

I wish we could trade up for Wiggins or Parker. But I don't want to give away Burks or Kanter.

 

[Jazz4ever]

I would pick Vonleh but think the Jazz will lean toward Smart.

 

[Park Bites]

love them both but vonlehs shooting wins out

A 6'9.5" guy who hits 3s, rebounds at a high rate, scores in the lane and protects the rim?

Sounds good to me.

I agree.

Ithink much or most of the "trends" that are unfolding are anything but false information. It will be a while before the real lay of the land syarts to solidify.
